We focus on the guiding principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion while creating content for everyone who engages with Mid. Everyone has unique abilities and limits to those abilities. Solving accessibility issues for all people benefits everyone who interacts with Mid and the information we provide.
Inaccessible information and media negatively impact all users, and especially those with a variety of disabilities, including mobility/orthopedic impairments, specific learning disabilities, and attention deficit disorders, among other conditions.
Mid's commitment to these guiding principles is now formally stated in our Accessibility Policy, which corresponds to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
In addition to the policy, this resource site includes reference information, tips on creating accessible content in a variety of formats, accessibility testing methods, and more. These resources are meant to assist content creators in meeting accessibility requirements.
The team at Mid is collectively responsible for assuring that the technologies we choose, use, and the content we create and reference are accessible. Digital accessibility encompasses electronic documents, email communications, websites, videos, software applications, and hardware devices that may be linked to or used by everyone, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
